Explanation for Delinquent Payment

The purpose of this credit repair letter is used for pleading with a creditor the fact that your
untarnished credit report has been affected negatively because of one problem over many years
of good payment history. You are asking the creditor to remove the negative information as a one-
time courtesy based on your excuse.

To Whom It May Concern,

I have recently found that several of my payments to your account have been labeled as late on my
credit report. These missed payments were due to:

[reason(s) for missed payment]

Since then I have been working full time and I have caught up on all of my bills. I have always paid my
accounts on time in the past. Since the late payments occurred for the above justifiable reasons, please
correct the payment history for my account at the following credit bureaus, which carry the history of my
account with you:

Experian
Equifax
Trans-Union

It is imperative that my credit reflect the good business relations I have maintained with your company in
the past. The corrections to the credit report will make it more representative of my financial habits. I
sincerely hope you will not take into consideration my oversight with these late payments which, I assure
you, will not occur again. I look forward to continuing our relationship for many years.
